One,

Two,

Three.

I count the number of times someone blows air into my lungs. I start coughing up water and sit up. I gasp for breath. I open my eyes and. See Romeo and Jack. Jack leaps on top of me, smiling ear to ear. "Porsche I'm so glad you're ok!" He exclaims pulling me closer. The way he was talking it sounded like he has been crying. I don't know why he would. I was happy until they gave me mouth to mouth. Romeo sees my face and realizes that I want Jack off of me. So he pulls him off of me and sits down next to me. "I need to talk to you later." He says in a series voice that kinda scares me when he does that. I know I'm in deep shit. So trying to make up for it, I give him a big hug and whisper in his ear "I know. I'm sorry." As I pulled away I notice Jack giving us a weird look. "So which one of you guys saved me?" I ask while trying to stand up. I'm a little wobbly so I lean on Jack. He starts smiling ear to ear again. For a second I think he was the one that saved my life. "Romeo did. He swam to the bottom of the lake and pulled you all the way to shore. He's a hero." Jack says trying to hold me up. His black hair is in his eyes so I move them out of the way so I can see them. I really love his eyes they look just like mine. Dark green on the edge of the colored part then light green in the middle and dark blue on the inner part. I smile and look to Romeo. "Really?" I ask. Because all of that is really hard to believe. Romeo can barely swim deep enough to get pool toys from the bottom of a pool let alone the bottom of a lake. "I'm not a hero. Jack is a hero. He is the one who did the pumps on your chest. Doctors say that is the most important part." He says hitting Jack in the shoulder. Which made us lose balance for a second. "Well thank you Jack. You saved my life." I say while hugging him and giving him a kiss on the cheek. He starts to blush. It's kinda cute. "We should get you to the hospital just in case." Romeo said grabbing my hand. "No!... Umm... I mean. I'm alive there is no need to go to the hospital. I'm fine." I say as I yank my arm back from him. I stop leaning on Jack and start walking around on my own to prove that I don't need to go. "Babe, you should really go." Jack says grabbing my other hand. But I yank that one away too. I'm not going to the hospital. Not even if my life depends on it. "Romeo can I talk to you for a second?" I ask as I pull him away not caring if he minded or not. I pull him far enough that Jack won't hear us. "Romeo please don't make me go there'" I say as I grabw his hands "please don't. I can't go. What are we gonna tell them? That I tried killing myself? They will tell my dad. Romeo please don't make me." I say looking into his eyes. I'm starting to tear up. "Porsche, it's gonna be fine."he says while bringing me in close."I won't make you go. If you promise not to do that again." I take a deep breath and say "I promise." I don't really believe in promises. I think they mean jack shit, but Romeo has always made me promise anyway. I think it makes him feel better. I pull away from his grasp because I can feel Jack looking at us. I don't want him to think something weird is happening. I don't think Romeo notices Jack watching us because he puts his hand to my face and wipes away my tears. Then he leans in and puts his warm lips to my cold ones.
